2024
THE 2024 VINTAGE
The mild winter and an extraordinarily warm April slightly brought forward the bud break. The months of May and June, which were rainy and had below-average temperatures, were followed by a July and August with temperatures so high as to inhibit photosynthesis and delay ripening. In the first few days of September, temperatures suddenly dropped below average and were accompanied by frequent rainfall that did not affect the quality of the grapes yet to be harvested. The Chardonnay harvest began on 26th August, whilst that of the Vermentino on 10th September.

2022
THE 2022 VINTAGE
The growing season started at the usual time after a typical winter for our area, in which minimum temperatures dropped below zero for the first three months of the year. 2022 was characterized by a lack of rain: only 170 mm of precipitation was recorded, from winter to early spring season. In May, we recorded drought and higher temperatures than average. Then, we had scorching days in June, July and mid-August. This led to an early harvest of the white varieties. Thanks to the high ventilation of our vineyards during the hottest hours of the afternoon, the aromas and, most of all, the acidity were perfectly preserved.

2018
THE 2018 VINTAGE
The weather conditions of 2018 was characterized by a particularly harsh winter, which delayed the start of the vegetative season, and then a summer that was initially cool and subsequently became warmer with quite a few rainfalls, a circumstance that allowed for having an excellent quality of white grapes.
TASTING NOTES
Bright straw yellow wine. Fruity aromas stand out on the nose: hints of apricot, citrus and grapefruit are in perfect harmony with the floral notes. The mouth is enlivened by a rich acidity that gives freshness and persistence.
Suitable with the whole meal, it goes perfectly with main courses based on fish, such as spaghetti with seafood and grilled calamari and prawns.
